CAPTCHA Problems

Joomla 1.7 Local on iis5

Ive downloaded and set up ReCaptcha Plugin, cause I want Captcha in the cart if the punter goes straight to checkout, without registering.
ReCaptcha works in the Cart Registration Form.

If I enable it for Contact form, its ok too.

If I enable it for Joomla user create account its ok too.

For password and username forgotten forms there is nothing.

So i thought i'd get Easycalccheckplus, and see if the two will work together, cause I want
a spam check on password and username forgotten (reminder) forms.

So I set Easycalc for user registration and NOT for Contact.
This means the JOOMLA user reg form now shows easycalc, as does password and username forgotten forms, And Contact and cart Registration show ReCaptcha.

On submitting each form it all works EXCEPT the JOOMLA registration which fails with the ReCaptcha error message...remember the checker here is Easycalc. Some how the two are in conflict on the JOOMLA reg form.

This is very annoying. Some punters will create an account via Joomla reg form and others will just go straight to checkout and be forced to do it there... so the captcha considerations aren't perfect.
Easycalc is an attractive, simple checker compared to the ugliness of ReCaptcha with its illegible distorted text.
Ideally I would just like to have Easycalc on all the input forms..

If I have to use ReCaptcha I will of course, but I want Some sort of Captcha on every input form that gets submitted...

Any Suggestions much appreciated.

Hope I'm being clear.

The HikaShop ReCaptcha plugin, if enabled will display on both the joomla registration and the checkout. There is no option to not activate it on the joomla registration page.
So I don't see how you managed to have it not display on the registration page of joomla but still have it on the checkout.

** Seems that the other plugin displays but recaptcha does the check. *********

But that's why you get that error when you register via joomla. The captcha check is still done when the user registers via joomla, so even if you don't display it there, it will still do the check.

** Yes thats the case **

Isn't there an option in your easycalc plugin to not display it on the user registration page ? That way you would just use it on the password and username retrieval pages.

** Other plug options are 'user reg' and 'contact form'...obviously I've had user reg enabled, which also covers the reminder forms...**

Alternatively, instead of using the joomla user registration, you could use the HikaShop user registration page (you can create a menu for it via the menu manager). You would still have the HikaShop ReCaptcha displayed on that page but the easycalc plugin might not conflict with it.

** Thanks Nicolas I think this is my only alternative also. Will test it .. Let you Know
